Two more clearance items in my Etsy shop have sold. They are going pretty quickly now, which is good. I need to get out some old inventory so I can get some new in. Check out my store, every time one sells I add another older piece to Clearance.

This is a weekly meme done by myself and fans of my Facebook page. Each Friday I post a theme, and anyone who shares an item gets it featured on this blog. Along with that I tweet, pin, share and favorite each item on Etsy. You do not have to have an Etsy store to participate, some just sell on FB or Ebay. To join in simply click on my widget to the left, that will take you to my FB fan page. The description of each item, and the price are below each item. Here are the links to go and see more about the item.

Well our school year is almost over, and in June I usually participate in something called 30 Days of Creativity. I hope it is going on this year. Anyway I have been saving jewelry, crochet and painting projects for over the Summer. I have not done much jewelry making projects at all. All Free Jewelry Making is a great website filled with awesome free projects to try. I can not wait to dig into some of these. Check it out if you want to learn the art of jewelry making, or are just looking for some new projects to try.

My, simple yet beautiful Peridot ring has sold! It really is a lovely example of a fine Peridot gemstone. This is the first item from my clearance section to be sold. As more sell I will add another old inventory item to the Clearance section. Click on my widget at the top of the blog to visit my Etsy store.

On my Facebook page, each week, I would do a Theme Friday post. Anyone who entered an item to fit the theme got in my Etsy Treasury on Saturday. I have been doing that for about a year now, and now I am bored with it, very bored. So, I thought I would use the power of blogging and social media to help boost Theme Friday items. The result is each member that submits an item to fit the theme will get it shared on my personal FB profile, Tweeted, Pinned, favorite on Etsy, and then each Saturday shared on this blog. Since I use traffic exchange to help with exposure to my blogs, this should help each item get lots of exposure. I only had two entries this week, plus mine of course. Check them out and visit each item in their respective stores. You never know you might find something you can not live without. This weeks theme was, Mother's Day Gifts 20 dollars or under. The first item is mine, and it is on Clearance. Be sure to check out all my Clearance items. This is a new section in my store to hopefully get some inventory moving a bit faster. All are less than what I paid to make the item including supplies and time. Here is the link to the first item https://www.etsy.com/listing/50557952/clearance-raspberry-pink-rhodolite? Grr I have no idea why I can not write right next to the picture. Anyway the second candle is a soy candle. If your mom loves candles check it out, awesome price too https://www.etsy.com/listing/130263156/cashmere-silk-downy-type-woodwick?ref=usr_faveitems The third item is a lovely pink button and rose bracelet, again an awesome price. Since they are all under 20 dollars they are all pretty awesome. Here is the link for the bracelet https://www.etsy.com/listing/129606514/shades-of-pink-flower-button-bracelet?ref=usr_faveitems If you would like to join in the Theme Friday topic, and get your items shown lots of love, click the large widget to the left that will lead you to my page, then just like the page and remember to check each Friday.

About Me

As you can see, I have been blogging for quite a long time. When I first started, I thought I would make a ton of money doing paid posts. Ha, that simply is not the case, especially when you are new. Now, after more than four years, my blog is a place to share my life, experiences, and various resources with all my readers. My kids are now 13 and 8. We continue to very much enjoy homeschooling and learning and growing together. We are very active in our church, community, and various group activities. Come and join in our adventure and say hi once in a while too.
